"What If" is a song by American rock band Creed, released on January 31, 2000 as the second single from their second studio album, Human Clay (1999), and as the lead single from Scream 3: The Album (2000), the first of two albums released to promote the 2000 slasher film Scream 3. The song, written by singer Scott Stapp and guitarist Mark Tremonti, is considered to be one of the band's heaviest.

"What If" was similarly successful to the other three singles from Human Clay. While not entering the Billboard Hot 100, the song peaked at No. 15 on the Alternative Airplay charts, No. 3 on the Mainstream Rock charts, and No. 2 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 charts.
